Wolf Beach Oysters – Fresh From Southern Puget Sound, Washington

Wolf Beach oysters are grown inter-tidally on the western shore of Totten Inlet, a short distance north of Little Skookum Inlet in southern Puget Sound, Washington. They are the product of hatchery produced seed that the farm starts growing in large mesh bags that are placed on the bottom. After a few months, they are transferred out of the bags and onto the beach, and they finish their grow-out as beach cultured oysters. The water in southern Puget Sound is very high in nutrients and usually not too intensely salty. As a result, the oysters generally taste mildly salty, and the meats tend to have a lot of fat on them, making them plump and sweet.

The sea food is incredibly delicious and incredibly fresh (less than 48 hours caught out of the west coast we're told), but what you really need to know is, the very young and talented baker behind the scene, prepares desserts that sell out, so you must order your dessert before...read more your entree, otherwise you might just miss out on the best dessert you ever had...if you enjoy sweets that is. Everything is exceptional at Trestle especially the oysters! I'm elated to have true quality in our little town. Very refreshing and very delectable.read less

Okay, it's a little pricey, but the seafood is great...and fresh! Castle Rock and Rox, it's in your hood!!! We loved our Ahi Tuna that the bartender seared right in front of us, my husband's favorite! We had crab cakes, and I liked them better than mine, but the hubs...read more thought mine were better because he could get a lot more for the same price at our house! I would order those again and leave him home to eat crab cakes! We had steak with chimichurri mustard sauce, and that was super tender, and we liked it! Not ordered, but recommended were oysters on the half shell and mussels, would try next time. I took the salmon special home and it was very good, and as fresh as I have ever had in Colorado. It was served with asparagus and a potato. The white sauce complemented the salmon and had a light sweetness to it! We took home 2 desserts, the cream puff with Belgian chocolate filled with vanilla custard-- huge and delicious! We also got this cake with fresh berries, reminded me of a cake from a fancy Italian deli. I thought the people were very nice, yes, as other reviewers have suggested, they could have a little more training, but I think it adds to their charm that they are genuine and they fix mistakes right away! Give them a chance! We need a restaurant like this in the area! I know we will be back!read less

This is a great little place in castle pines for delicious seafood. The lobby has these 20 foot ceilings and gorgeous large windows for lots of natural light. There is a long bar in the entry way and small tables. I was surprised to see how busy this restaurant got!...read more They serve delicious raw oysters and shuck them right in front of you. Their menu is limited but really, what more do you want from a higher end seafood establishment? The service was speedy and each meal was really delicious. The clam chowder is creamy and hot, definitely start with that before your meal! They also have a dessert cart they roll out so you can see which dessert you'd like to spoil yourself with! Amazing! I told my family I needed a dessert cart at home but nobody would go for it. I loved how easy this was to access from Santa Fe and the cute and quaint little shopping area it's located in. I really enjoyed my visit at trestles and I look forward to coming back!read less

You might not expect to find a great seafood restaurant in the southern outskirts of the Denver metropolitan area, but that is where we found Trestles and it really hit the mark. I had the mahi mahi fish tacos and they were delicious, made in the authentic Baja style with...read more a spicy sauce and crunchy green and pickled red cabbage. D-lish. I wanted to try the albacore sandwich which my friend had ordered, an uncommonly thick slice of brazed tuna with wonderful sauce, but I was too late in asking. We started things off with a large bowl of mussels and steamer clams, a generous portion of shellfish with a wonderful wine/ butter sauce. The sauce so good we asked for extra bread to dab in the broth. The ambiance is slightly upscale, but certainly not fussy. Modern decor with the sconces resembling colorful jellyfish. Good selection of beer and wine. Other entres besides seafood.read less

Most amazing scallops ever, per my picky husband. Steak was average but still good. This is expected as their focus is on fresh seafood. I'm not a seafood eater, so this is a common disappointment for me. Must not skip dessert here, which is made fresh...read more by a pastry chef everyday. Nothing frozen here.

Good, reasonably priced food. Although there are a few entrees not seafood, the place, by name is seafood. Just had Marlin and my wife had Maryland Style crab cakes. This and the Palm are the closest to Maryland crab cakes in the Denver area. Large quantity of food. Try the...read more desserts. Nice bar. Co-owner Mimi came by to say hello and welcome us.
